NAME

       uniprint - produce postscript output from unicode text for printing

SYNOPSIS

       uniprint [ -out output-file ] [ -in input-file ] [ -decode encoding ] [ -printer printer ]
       [ -L ] [ -media media ] [ -us ] [ -nus ] [ -break ] [ -wrap ] [ -left ] [ -right ] [ -size
       font-size ] [ -hsize header-font-size ] [ -font truetype-font-file ]

DESCRIPTION

       uniprint  is  a  program from the yudit distribution. It makes a formatted poscript output
       that can be saved or directly sent to the printer.  The program needs a TrueType font that
       has unicode table in order  to operate.

       If  you are running Linux you most probably have unicode truetype fonts, because there are
       very few vendors, if any. who give discount if you do not buy Windows. If you are  running
       other Unices it is still possible to get a freely available font. I have made ciberbit.ttf
       a  default  font  for  uniprint,  mainly  because   it   is   freely   downloadable   from
       http://www.bitstream.com/.

       The  postcript  output contains all drawing information. No extra fonts are needed, and it
       can be printed on any postscript printer.  You may encounter probkems with  old  ghostview
       or  old  printers.  I  used this program with ghostscript 5.10 because 2.6.2 gave me stack
       overflow error.

OPTIONS

       -out ouput-file
              Do not sent the output to the printer, put it in the  file  instead.   If  the  '-'
              character is specified, send the postscript data  to the standard output.

       -in input-file
              If specified read the document from a file. Read stdin otherwise.

       -decode encoding
              specifies  the  encoding  of  the input text.  All encodings that are available for
              uniconv can be used. If not specified encoding is set to utf-8.

       -printer printer
              Send the postscript output to printer through the 'lpr -P Printer' command.

       -break option makes this  program  print  a  graphical  representation  of  line  breaking
              characters.

       -us    option  turns  on  uniscribe  emulation. For some scripts emulation is turned on by
              default.

       -nus   option turns off uniscribe emulation. For some scripts emulation is turned  off  by
              default.

       -wrap  option makes this program do a simplistic line breaking on word boundaries.

       -left  option sets the embedding of the document to Left.

       -right option sets the embedding of the document to Right.

       -L     Selects landscape printing. The default is portrait.

       -media media
              Sets  paper  size.  The default is A4. The following media values are accepted: A3,
              A4, A5, B4, B5, Executive, Folio, Ledger, Legal, Letter, Quarto, Statement, Tabloid

       -size font-size
              sets the size of the font for the text body in points.

       -hsize heder-font-size
              sets the size of the font for the header in points.  If zero size is specified,  no
              header is printed.

       -font truetype-font
              specifies the font to be used for printing.

              truetype-font is the full pathname of the font, like /somepath/myfonts/cyberbit.ttf
              or just  the  name  of  the  file  cyberbit.ttf.   The  fonts  are  searched  using
              yudit.fontpath        property        in        ~/.yudit/yudit.properties        or
              /usr/share/yudit/config/yudit.properties.  directory where the font files are kept.
              By default /usr/share/yudit/fonts and ~/.yudit/fonts are searched.  This option can
              be specified multiple times, to create a virtual font.

FILES

       ~/.yudit/yudit.properties    or    /usr/share/yudit/config/yudit.properties    can    have
       yudit.fontpath  and  yudit.datapath  properties.   The former is where the font files, the
       latter is where the map files are kept.  By default /usr/share/yudit/fonts is searched.
